Why do you guys hate him so much?
>>
>>21021432
I don't hate him I just hate the astroturf that he's GOAT-tier when he was so dimeless he almost killed the company
I also hate the undertaker GOAT astroturf when he was never the top draw and in a hot era was a distant fourth at absolute best even though I like 'Taker in general
It's just WWE propaganda overplaying it's hand souring people
>>
>>21021432
I don't but Shawn was always his own worst enemy.
>>
Don't hate him, just hate his influence in the business.
>>
>>21021443
both were the best wrestlers alive in the 2000s

You'll never understand the annoyance of trying to have a real GOAT discussion and a bunch of losers butting in with stuff they heard about this fag in a WWE produced documentary.

it's astroturfing indians being anti-shawn for some reason. they're pretty easy to spot.
>>
>>21021432
Because I hate the way the 2000s era turned out as a result of him coming back the second the actual draws left.

Ever notice all the wrestlers saying Shawn was a fag were the ones he bullied mercilessly until they almost committed suicide

Name 50. The only ones I knew of that you could say he was an asshole to were >Vader
deserved it cause everyone from bret to cornette have stated how he hurt people and was dangerous to work with.
>Rock
He was prescient and foresaw the dangers of letting samoan shitters infest the company.
>candido
literally a cuck simp mark. this is who I’m supposed to feel bad for?
>bam bam bigelow
a shoot retard who almost got himself killed multiple times for trying to larp as a badass IRL

Shawn is beloved because he is an undeniable, once in a lifetime talent. The world watched him grow up from his early years straight to the top of the industry. There is a begrudging respect he gets out of even his detractors that he is a very talented and great in ring performer. He had rockstar good looks to boot.

Shawn is despised and rightfully so for his influence over the industry, his despicable behaviour towards the company and the profession as a a whole, his derailing and destroying of careers by those who he felt threatened by or simply did for his own amusement, and for getting away with what others would have long been fired for because it is highly alluded to if not a forgone conclusion at this point that he had more than just a professional relationship with the boss. Its not undeserved of course what with him at one point being the smallest world champion they ever had post-Hogan, but Shawn did nothing but toss stones down the mountain he had climbed. His redemption arc and post-injury comeback is no doubt admirable.

I used to hate Shawn because I was a Bret guy and all of the news on Shawn was how he was a drugged out loser. It felt like him getting injured made the Attitude Era because it got the Bret/Shawn stink off of it. Even though if you go back and watch, Shawn never fucking goes away. He's always coming back in some non-wrestling role before being written off and written back on in a different non-wrestling role until 2002 when wrestling wasn't cool anymore and Shawn decided to become Mr. WM.

I also held it against Shawn for being Ric Flair's favorite wrestler so HHH wanted it where only he or Taker could beat him. But when he was going over Benoit and Cena in TV matches where I don't believe he should have won, they were absolutely phenomenal matches.

So I like Shawn based on how he wrestles but I hate Shawn based on who wins and who loses.

96/97 DX Shawn is the GOAT chickenshit heel of all time, if you watch all the clips from that year his promos are underrated he didn’t have any catchphrases but he could talk and drew heat. His matches from that era are GOAT in ring performance, born again Christian Shawn is cringe and overrated, coke head DX Shawn is close to the greatest to ever do it, that’s why so many shitters emulate him
>>
We do? Desu he was always a shitty face and seems like an utter cunt but that also made him the best heel of all time.

Contrarianism. Shawn and Undertaker are two of the best ever and the appreciation for them became too universal that people started feeling it was cooler to hate on them instead. See Edge as well. It's just easy to spot retards who let you know to ignore them

He had exactly one match over two years after his injury and was then supposed to go back to WWF except he was a retarded junkie so they told him to fuck off. At least learn the basics before blabbing your retarded bullshit, you stupid piece of shit.

All of this is true. All of it. Even the way things turned out in 1997/1998 were poetic because after years of being a druggie asshole and pain to work with, Shawn had to sit back and watch as the industry exploded without him. Then comes 2002, and now he and Haitch run the joint and the rest is history and not for the better.
>>
Out of all the candidates for legendary all-time fan favorite #1 wrestler I dont see the appeal of Shawn.
>w-well he was acrobatic
Yeah and he also looked like he weighted 160 pounds.
>w-well he was cocky
So was half of the roster in any given company because it gets heat.
>w-well he could do... a kick?
Give me a break. If your top guy is Shawn Michaels you're probably jerking off to him like Vince was.

Shawnetty would fit in in AEW

>>21021432
Obese smelly smarks grew up on the lies of Bret Hart being better and as they grew up, they knew they were too far gone into that lie to realize Shawn was superior so they just have to begrudgingly still pretend Bret is better

don't hate him but wierded out by him doing gay porn

>>21024350
I wonder if Vince wanted him to redebut vs the Rock but HHH wanted it to be him so they waited him out until he wouldn't get in their way and did the Summer Slam '02 classic.

Also about the bumping, Bryan Danielson shares a story in some shoots about Shawn showing him and Spanky how to get some serious air on a back body drop and his mom came out to yell at him for taking so many bumps like that with his back problems. So if he was kayfabing, that included his mom.

That's what Scott Keith said. We didn't buy subscriptions for Dave Meltzer to tell us the best worker in North America was some jabroni named Juventud.

On top of wrestling during his 'career ending injury', after Wrestlemania 14, Vince continued to pay Shawn - who you believe couldn't even take a single bump and whose career was over - just so he didn't go to WCW. LMAO
>>
>>21029414
>On top of wrestling during his 'career ending injury'
Once, two years after getting injured, when he was obviously getting better which is why he was soon back in WWE. Like I just explained and which you obviously didn't know.
>Vince continued to pay Shawn
Yes he continued to pay the person who was on tv every week in a non-wrestling role, this is clearly proof that he faked his injury.

Sometimes I wonder how mongrels like you are able to even breathe. I won't answer you again because you're clearly either trolling or simply too stupid to have any sort of meaningful discussion.

>>
>>21029470
>Yes he continued to pay the person who was on tv every week in a non-wrestling role
He was paid all the way through his 1998 TV absence as well. It was so he didn't join the rest of the Kliq. No way Vince does that if he couldn't wrestle anymore.

you really should watch more wrestling before making statements like this and then you won't embarrass yourself like this

Vince kept paying him while he was 'injured' for the same reason he paid Janel Grant.

So Vince can poop on him?

Vader should have rip his head off in the spot.

>>21033857
If he was the greatest heel of all-time, why didn't he draw any money? The only thing he did during that run that was a success was when Steve Austin and Mike Tyson were the real story and he just happened to be there.
